Everton produced an entertaining 3-2 victory over Wolves, with Jack Grealish supplying two assists to help secure back-to-back Premier League wins. Beto opened the scoring after seven minutes from Grealish's headed pass, Iliman Ndiaye added a close-range second, and Keirnan Dewsbury-Hall struck home following another Grealish assist early in the second half. Wolves responded through Hwang Hee-chan and substitute Rodrigo Gomes but remain without a point this season. Grealish recorded eight touches in the opposition box and won 13 of 17 duels, marking consecutive multi-assist Premier League appearances for Everton.
Data Debrief: Grealish the provider yet again In their win over Brighton last weekend, Grealish showed signs that he could still perform at his peak, registering two assists on his home debut. He then matched that tally against Wolves, becoming the first Everton player to ever assist two or more goals on consecutive Premier League appearances. The Englishman recorded eight touches in the opposition box, the most of any player in the game, also winning 13 of his 17 duels, the most of any player.
Grealish teed up Beto for Everton's opener after just seven minutes as he headed the ball across the box towards the striker, who made no mistake with his finish. Though Hwang Hee-chan got Wolves level, Everton went into half-time 2-1 up thanks to Iliman Ndiaye's close-range finish, after Beto did well to dummy a low cross from Keirnan Dewsbury-Hall. Grealish then teed up Dewsbury-Hall for a thunderous strike 10 minutes into the second half, which flew past Jose Sa and touched the crossbar on its way in. After some attacking changes from Wolves boss Vitor Pereira, substitute Rodrigo Gomes got one back to cap a spell of pressure, though he later missed a good chance to equalise in stoppage time.
